When they set out, Xu Muhai had repeatedly stressed the importance of ensuring Li Hengsheng's safety. Yang Tiantian had indeed not noticed any villages in the distance earlier, but now one had appeared, which she found somewhat suspicious.

However, it was also possible that she had simply overlooked it earlier. After walking for a while, the village came into clear view.

The rugged path led to the entrance of the village, gradually becoming easier to traverse. At the entrance of the village, an old yellow ox was chewing on dry grass, seemingly uncurious about the arrival of these two strangers.

"Sister, it seems we've arrived," Li Hengsheng said, looking at the rows of houses in the village. Smoke was rising from many of the homes, indicating that meals were being prepared.

"There's only one village around here, so this must be it," Yang Tiantian said, sensing her surroundings. She didn't notice anything amiss.

Just then, an old man emerged from the village. He was carrying a basket of herbs, and his steps were unsteady. He placed the herbs on a cart at the entrance of the village.

Wiping his sweat, he suddenly noticed Yang Tiantian and Li Hengsheng.@@novelbin@@

"Who are you?" the old man asked curiously, "Are you disciples from Dao Mountain Ancient Land?"

"Old man, we are disciples from Dao Mountain Ancient Land. We heard that something strange happened in your village, so we came to check," Li Hengsheng said, observing the old man.

"Great, you're finally here," the old man said with a smile, his face wrinkling with joy.
